StarTech.com Converter

Introducing the 2-port serial adapter from StarTech.com, featuring COM port retention and wall-mounting brackets. A perfect solution for an industrial environment utilising serial cables for data transfer.

While working from your PC, add 2 RS-232 ports as though they're built on via a single USB 2.0 cable. Because the USB serial adapter is bus powered, there's no need for an external power supply. However, for devices that require additional power, there is the option to use a DC connector (not included) or terminal block.

StarTech’s adapter is built with rugged steel housing and is ready for installation on almost any surface, such as desks or brick walls, as the brackets are built onto the case.

After installation, the COM port retention allows users to plug or unplug the single USB cable into different ports, or even after a reboot, and ensures the same settings and values are restored automatically to each specific RS-232 connection.

The serial RS232 adapter is a cost-effective way to connect legacy serial devices without needing to upgrade equipment and acts as a compatibility bridge between USB and serial peripherals; saving the need to throw away older but perfectly usable equipment.

It’s also good for serial modems and satellite receivers.

A USB to serial adapter is a way of connecting peripheral devices that feature a 9 pin connection, typically in industrial environments, to transfer data from a computer.

This specific converter requires some software to be downloaded before users can apply the adapter in their environment. This is included. Once installed, simply connect the USB cable to a host computer (type A USB port) and the converter (type B USB port). After this, attach the desired RS232 connectors into the converter’s serial ports for swift data transfer.
